What kind of mood would you find yourself in if a tree fell onto your house? Would it ruin your day? Our guests might have something to say about that…

 

Joining me today are two of the most outrageously optimistic, enthusiastic experts in personal finance, Joel O'Leary and Joel Laarsgard.

 

I’ll often have clients come in and say, “Jesse, we really want to approach things conservatively. I mean after all, you’ve seen the news, right? We know we’re heading into a recession.” And on one hand, of course, we want to be paying attention to the economy, but what do the short term fluctuations in the news cycle really mean to us over the span of 30 years? We shouldn’t let a negative bias harm our long-term financial health. 

 

Today we discuss if there’s truly a force behind the power of positivity and what it could mean in your financial situation. After all, one of Joel’s favorite quotes is “invest like an optimist and save like a pessimist.” So, join me in this lighthearted conversation as we break it all down.
